Publisher Description
Four women.
Four stories.
One man's journey.
Odysseus. His epic tale has been told countless times, but rarely is it heard through the voices of the women who loved and served him. Penelope, Circe, Athena, Eurycleia: Theirs are the silent voices, the voices of longing, waiting, strength. They are the women who moved him and motivated him. And now they shed new light on his age-old journey.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This "colorful feminist reimagining" of Homer's The Odyssey offers four female characters' perspectives. "Readers may be better off having at least some acquaintance with Greek mythology ahead of time, but the uninitiated could easily get swept up in the swift, powerful writing," noted PW. Ages 12-up.
